Grizzle gray. Please help me choose a compatible color.
Please help me choose a color that goes with Sherwin Williams grizzle gray (dark gray color in the photos). Each room flows into the next; I need the color that works in the entry, great room, kitchen and dining room. We are not painting our oak trim. See pics attached. Any help you can provide is great! (Note - all red walls will be grizzle gray.) Also, should we consider wall papering the dining room? My husband is not a fan but I think a pattern could look good on the upper half. --All white tile floors are going to be changed to hardwood. Thank you!

6 years agoHey Lisa, Grizzle Gray has some warm green undertones, which is a good thing based on the decision to keep your warm toned trim throughout the house. Since I wanted to find something in the same realm, I came up with the options, all with warm undertones and lighter than Grizzle Grey to give you a nice contrast. First is Gray Clouds, second is Reflection, and third is Olympus White. And I would choose between either Reflection or Olympus White, not both. These are all Sherwin Williams paints so they should be of the same quality as Grizzle Gray.
Also, I think adding a wallpaper in the dining room could be fun and interesting and they have tons of beautiful removable wallpapers or temporary wallpapers on the market these days. Check out Chasing Paper, Tempaper, Brewster Wallpaper, Joss & Main, or a local high end wallpaper dealer!

Help me to choose a colour....please!!
Comments (3)Hi elconno, Not sure if you are in USA but I would suggest two colors by Sherwin-Williams called Upward and Wallstreet. The pic doesn't do the colors justice but the dark one I would put only on the wall your fridge is on - that includes the little strip above the cabinets. This will make the fridge disappear a little and it will be a great wall for a piece of art with a lot of color - it will really pop! The lighter color will go well with any teal accents you want and brighten the space....See MoreHelp with colours
Comments (53)Thanks a mil! That's the thing about new colour. It does take some getting used to. However I had my babies room, a spare room and the inside of my front door painted at the same time last week and love all of the colours chosen but this one I just can't look at. It turned out to be more of a minty green than the colour samples on the wall. One of the fabrics below are being make up in a footstool and I think it may be overkill with too much colour. I wanted the coushions and footstool to pop as those are the things you spend the most amount of money on rather than the paint. In saying that. The cost of the paint was expensive and also paying someone to do it. Now to do it all over again is not ideal.:(. i took the cushions and fabric into one of my other rooms to see what it looked like against a more neutral background and felt it looked a little better. See pics below. Any other paint suggestions are much appreciated....See MoreOur new home
Comments (20)Please, please, please, don't paint any of the wood. You have a beautiful setting for mid century modern décor. I can agree with removing the carpet from the stairs, however I would just want to add a jute floor covering for the stairs after. The light fixtures should probably both be changed. You even have a lovely roomy space in your foyer. I always recommend starting with the foundation of the room, which is the floor covering. Kilim, ikat, Persian or Oriental would be my choice. I would think minimalist would be very fitting in this space....See MoreHelp me choose a bed for guest room
Comments (30)Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before....See MoreLisa

6 years agoHi all,
I wanted to circle back because we finally chose our complementing colors and finished painting yesterday! We wound up using Sedate Gray in the kitchen and dining room and Accessible Beige (both S-W paint colors) in the great room and entry. (Pics are kind of dark; I snapped the ones of the great room when I got home last night.) We are so happy with the way they came out next to the Grizzle Gray! Thought I'd share. We'll be getting rid of the white tile flooring next.... House projects never end. : )
